As a little girl, I used to read fairy tales. One old favorite was Snow White. Who would not want to be like her? Well would you believe if I raise my hand?

I'm a natural morena so to speak. Even as a budding young lady then, I never strive to be fair-skinned because I embrace being a morena and my mom who is so fair always compliments me for being "kayumangging kaligatan". But after I gave birth and my Camsur /Boracay getaways during summer, my skin was not able to recover, I developed uneven skin tone on my face, arms and legs. My fashion style suffered because I cannot wear most colors! This is when I realize it is time to put an end to my agony and at least try to achieve an even skin tone or even a whiter skin.

In my search for the perfect whitening product, I came across Kojie.san kojic soap. I really love this geisha like packaging! So Japan, we all know japanese people are born with flawless white skin like Snow White!

Kojie.san is the first commercially available kojic soap in the Philippine market. I said "commercially available" because before only dermatologists use kojic acid in treating their patients with skin problems! Even before the arrival of glutathione craze in our country, Kojie.san was already selling in the beauty racks of Watsons and supermarkets!

Using Kojie.san soap with kojic acid is very beneficial! Based on the packaging It has a micro peeling effect, that is why when I washed my face and create a lather after rinsing I feel a slight tingling which proved it is a potent whitening product. It does not contain any harmful chemicals. It contains antioxidants and 100% all natural ingredients. After weeks of continuous use, my skin blemishes lightened. Kojie.san soap became a permanent part of my beauty skin care staple. I'm not saying that I have a perfectly white skin as of the date but surely my skin appeared healthier as compared before.

Just to remind you, use only the authentic Kojie.san soap and not the other "kaloka-likes". Results may vary when using other kojic soap that may cause irreversible harmful effects! We are talking about our skin here, better sure than sorry! :)

Hi dearies! It's a beautiful sunny Sunday morning here in Las Piñas City and today I'm excited to share my new winning, a 7-day trial kit of Yves Rocher France Hydra Vegetal Line. The set includes a gel cleanser, toner and gel moisturizer.

I picked up from their SM Southmall Shop last Friday. Actually they gave away 200 sets for their fans to try. Big thanks to Ms. Martha of the The Beauty Junkee blogsite where I read about this giveaway!

I must commend their staff Jason and Joan for being smart, accommodating and knowledgeable. They answered all my inquiries about the products. I will make a separate post for the Hydra Vegetal Line next time.
